I wouldn't go with French since it is not as spoken as Spanish and Chinese and it is a bit hard to pronounce at times. Chinese, although it seems hard, its is not as hard as some people may think. An 8 year old would learn any language rather well since they are young and have plenty of time to learn. Spanish is easier and more used in the US but Chinese is also a very important language.

Mandarin Chinese is a very difficult language to learn, full stop as it requires learning Kanji characters and it is considered difficult by people of an Asian background.

Spanish is definitely the easiest. It has the simplest grammar, the fewest exceptions to that grammar, and is also a romance language, meaning it has the same roots as english. French is only a little harder because of the grammar and the conjugations, though. I would choose the one of those that is most likely to come in handy later on in life. Depending on where you live... I would choose Spanish or French.

I learned it fairly quickly when I was in second grade but I stopped and.. now I suck :p Chinese is easy to learn because the grammar is fairly simple, you seriously don't really need to think much. The only hard part is learning characters. I'd think learning Chinese is more unique though. French grammar is a little difficult... Basically I think Spanish is easiest. Children learn fairly quickly though. Depends on how interested your kid is and how well they study..so I don't think you should care about which is harder or not. :D just choose whatever language interests her/you.
